I skimmed article. It’s interesting that there is no mention of Assertive Community Treatment Teams (ACTT). Models like this have been around since the late 70s. Lots of states in the US have programs like these.

I’ve been doing this work myself for the last seven years in North Carolina. I’ve given plenty of long acting antipsychotic injections in parking lots and under bridges.

It’s because we’re mostly fucking cool here.

I haven’t gone up that way to see what it looks like. I hope your friend is safe.

There are places with power. They’re getting it to places slowly. My neighbors have solar. I’ve also been charging in the car.

I have cell service.

We’re good here. I’m north, off of Merrimon. Still no power. Most of Merrimon seems to have it, except us.

I was just going to say, I drive past this place almost everyday. It’s wild to see Asheville everywhere online. Hope you’re doing well JimmyBigSausage.

I’m a community mental health nurse in Asheville. I work for ACTT. I haven’t had power or running water since last Friday like everyone else.

I have been working out in the community since Monday. I can tell you that supplies have been coming in enmass.

People have been getting food and drinking water without issue. Every patient I have seen this week has been taken care of.

There is a response here. The issue is communication services; wireless phone services. There are connections sporadically. People are having trouble knowing where to get supplies.

We are a strong community who are coming together. No one is without basic needs.

I second Behind the Bastards. I would also check out Knowledge Fight if you like making fun of Alex Jones. Dogg Zzone 9000 is great for just laughing your ass off.

Keep it up. I will always upvote these posts. They give my feed some actual happiness.

I’m not OP, but it’s typically used to treat severe depression.

Knit your heart out man! I’m a guy in his 40s who always wanted to get a physics degree. So I’ve bought a bunch of textbooks. Still at the beginning and learning calculus.

I guess it’s partly a desire for privacy and partly social anxiety. Don’t get me wrong, if I were about to shit myself I absolutely would use a public restroom. I’d just prefer to use my own bathroom.

To this day I still don’t shit in public bathrooms.

I’m reading Children of Ruin, the second book of the Children of Time series. I blasted through the first book in less than a week. First time I’ve read Tchaikovsky and I love it.
